Tillich, Paul, 1886-1965 Philosophy and religion. |
| Descripción: | Tillich frames the question of truth, meaning, and certainty within the spiritual and social crises of the 20th century. Specifically, be addresses the fragmentation of religion, culture, faith, reason, emotion, and the displacement of religion to the periphery of human consciousness. These demonstrate how this compartmentalization and marginalization is due to a misunderstanding of the nature of reason and its relation to being, religious consciousness, language and symbol and reveal religion as the inescapable center of human experience. Tillich reunites these fragments of the psyche and returns religion to the center of human experience without falling into the hubris and subjectivity of idealism. This thesis examines Tillich's ontological approach to knowledge, his idea of "theonomous" culture, religion as "ultimate concern". It presents Tillich's understanding of being-itself as the religious source of human thought, activity; and creation and as the presupposition of truth, meaning and certainty. It examines the universal experience of faith and "ultimate concern" revealed in the "courage to be". |
